By its proactive decision to continue remote teaching until 5 April, Xamk wants to make it easier for its staff and students to plan and make arrangements for the near future.
More specific information on possible remote teaching or hybrid model arrangements will be released as soon as the hospital district authorities in Xamk’s areas of operation have reached a decision on their remote teaching recommendations. Currently, information on recommendations after March is not available.
